Ingredients


71 gm Butter, grass fed, unsalted (plus more for coating)
284 gm Tilapia
2 clove(s) Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon peel (zest)
2 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp drained Capers, canned (chopped)

  4. Remove the garlic butter from the heat, and mix in the lemon zest and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  5. Pour the lemon-butter sauce over the fish, and sprinkle the capers around the baking pan.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through, and serve. 

Notes:

SUBSTITUTION TIP You could use any mild white fish with this recipe. Even salmon is delicious with the lemon-butter sauce.
